A man with long dark hair, a white vibhuti marking on his forehead with a red dot, and ornate gold necklaces with many rudraksha beads wears orange-saffron clothing with a gold waistband and gold armband, smiling as he reaches forward. Facing him, a shaven-headed man in orange robes with rudraksha bracelets holds a large bouquet of white, red and yellow flowers with green leaves wrapped in a red cloth. Another orange-clad person stands partially visible at left. Visible people: three.
